<title>Heading into the Weekend</title>
<description><![CDATA[So... we're heading into a weekend with games against the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers... It's been what, six-straight losses? 

So believe it or not, I'm feeling good about tonight. The expression "due" comes to mind. But I think the PIstons are a team that's prone to playing down to their opponents and taking teams lightly. They didn't use to be that way, but these aren't the Pistons of five years ago. Deeetroit Basketball just ain't what it use to be.

So, it's time to play for pride. These guys will be at home, know the fans are probably even more frustrated that they are and should be damn serious about playing at their absolute best tonight. 

I hope....]]></description>

<title>No faking the funk yesterday...</title>
<description><![CDATA[Now THAT'S more like it!

The Raps snapped that ugly seven-game slide Sunday, showing more "pep in their step" (as Jack Armstrong would say) than they have in weeks!

Just to keep things on the Letterman, here's a top ten list of things I really loved from yesterday's big 110-87 win over the Pacers. 

1. Thankfully, Shawn Marion still serves Sunday brunch after 2 p.m. Danny Granger the victim of a game-changer!!

2. Andrea Bargnani. Pacers elected to give him all the space he wanted for his jumper and he made them pay to the tune of 27 points with nine rebounds and four dimes. How is this guy not garnering more consideration for the league's Most Improved Player?

3. Pops goes the newest local hero. One game removed from a costly late gaffe, Pops Mensah-Bonsu pours in a career-high 21 points, attacks the rim like it owes him lunch money and earns a standing O from a great crowd post-game. Inking this guy to an extension as an energizer of the bench is a must IMO. 

4. Jose Calderon: Redux. The plucky Spaniard says he's about as healthy as he's been in a while and it's showed the last two games. The offensive numbers have been mighty healthy, but I've loved his defensive tenacity. Raps are a very different team when he gets going like this. 

5. Chris Bosh smiling. Haven't seen it much of late. Great work on the boards even if the scoring was there. 

6. An actual comeback. This one was a rare blowout, but making it even more impressive was the fact that this team trailed by as many as eight points in the second quarter. Not a huge hill to climb, still nice to see them do it. 

7. Rebounding. Great effort against the second-best rebounding team in the league. Toronto wins the battle of the boards 55-38 and hauls in 18 offensive rebounds to just nine for Indiana.  That's leads to....

8. Points in the Paint. Usually another Achilles Heel for the Raps, they crush the Pacers in the lane 48-28. 

9. The Sked Ahead. OK technically, not part of Sunday's game. But the win kicks off the most favourable part of the calendar for the Raps all season. They've got: @CHA, CHA, LAC, MIL, OKC and CHI to round out March. If they play the way the did on Sunday, is five wins out of that group out of the question?

10. Blowouts=rest. Love the fact that Bosh, Marion, Calderon all logged less minutes in yesterday's blowout. Hopefully, that pays dividends in CHA tonight. 

Let's go get it!

J.
